Chapter 2348 Ghost
"Easy friend, don"t you think you have gotten too close," I said as I appeared next to the Rhinoman.
It stopped seeing me appearing next to it and looked at me clearly. "You seemed new here," It said after a few seconds of silence. "Yes, I have just arrived not long ago," I replied, not in any hurry to attack.
"Well, that is the biggest mistake you have ever made, and as this will be your last day on the world," It said and turned into a silver flash, and before I could even blink, I found it in front of me with its saber crossing halfway distance toward me.
The Rhinomen are big and bulky and usually slower than the monsters like snakeman and werewolf but not Silver Rhinomen, and this one is even faster than what speed it should have at its level.
Its information truly did say it was this fast, but many people would have a hard time believing it unless they had experienced it with their own eyes.
"Hehe!"
A small laugh escaped from my lips, and at that exact moment, a fiery red long sword appeared in my and blazed before searing toward the silver saber.
CLANG!
Our weapons clashed, creating a deafening sound and explosion of water around us. Even though we were fighting above the water, the shockwave was powerful enough to create a huge explosion that sent tsunamis in all directions, and this is just the first clash.
"You are good; it seemed like I have underestimated you," It said with a slight smile hanging on its face when I felt the edge of its sword behind my neck.
If an early Grandmaster had been fighting against it instead of me. They would have had a hard time detecting its attack before its late. As for all they know, the Silver Rhinoman is still in front of them, smiling.
CLANG CLANG CLANG
I moved back swiftly and countered its attack with mine, but just as I did, it had appeared above me and attacked even faster.
Attacks began to rain down on me like arrows, every moment, it would attack from a different direction, leaving an after-image that looked very real, and now, there were more than ten after images around me.
It will be more accurate to say they are image phantoms; they are no simple after images created through speed.
Now, this sneaky b.a.s.t.a.r.d began to seep into these phantoms and attack me, making it hard to ascertain where it was attacking, and it couldn"t help but make me smile as I had been waiting to fight against such an enemy.
It had been months since I had last fought; even before my injury, I was not able to fight. The mission in new ruin had not let me fight; the only fight I had could be said to be controlling the Antman for a few seconds.
"You should do a little better; I could clearly see your path," I said while effortlessly moving my eyes to follow it despite it moving at a very high speed.
"Snort!"
Rhinoman snorted, but I immediately felt a change in its aura and immediately harnessed more power. Even though I am quite confident that I would not be at a slight disadvantage against it, I still like to be cautious.
Those with speed could create trouble at any time.
"Ghostly Ribbon!" It said in a strange hallowed voice, and ghostly silver ribbons came out of every part of its body, and it turned ghostly before tens of ribbons came at me.
Each one has incorporated look in them, and it seemed like earth didn"t affect them as they did not even take a moment to arrive before me.
This attack if it is very dangerous; these ribbons have strange abilities. They can seep inside one and cut one from inside but also turn corporal and slash one from outside, and they are extremely fast, which makes them very hard to avoid.
Tens of ribbons came at me in less than a moment and pierced through my body before taking a sharp left.
What they have pierced through were the after image of mine; I have moved away the moment the ribbons have released. I have read about this move of this Rhino b.a.s.t.a.r.d, and in the previous war, it had killed seven of our Grandmasters, while on this one, it had already killed two.
Silver Rhinoman are metallic and speed element Grimm Monster, there is no ghost element in them, but this b.a.s.t.a.r.d is born with the Ghost const.i.tution, and Inheritance it had is of the Ghost element.
The speed it is displayed is just a secondary ability of it which it had developed to an amazing degree with the help of its const.i.tution.
Despite not being the most powerful Grimm among the eight Grimm Monsters, it is the second biggest target here. The Grand Commander had specifically asked me to finish off this b.a.s.t.a.r.d; killing it alone would be a success.
So, one can imagine how tricky this b.a.s.t.a.r.d is.
It is not just a Pyramid that is interested in it, but I am too. The Ghost const.i.tution is an extremely rare const.i.tution, and I want to study it, but I will gladly forgo that objective if I could kill it.
Killing it in the usual way would expose me, and I have no plan to expose myself yet. So, the only way I could allow myself to kill it is through the raw strength, and that would be a difficult task.
While I am confident in dominating it with my raw strength, killing it is a completely different thing. As I would have to be extremely swift before the two peak leaders here could stop me, as I said, it is a difficult task.
Though I am not disappointed, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d is going to die by my hand. If not today, then in a few days, when I am finished with my preparations.
